mysterious death of a top British codebreaker, authorities have 
published images of a man and woman who entered his apartment building 
weeks before his death.

Gareth Williams, 31, was found dead and naked in a North Face duffel bag 
in the bathtub of his flat last August. The sports bag was padlocked on 
the outside.

The two, said to be in their 20s and of Mediterranean appearance, were 
let in to Williams’ building by another tenant in late June or July. 
They told the tenant they had keys to Williams’ flat but indicated they 
knew him as Pier Paolo.

Williams, described by those who knew him as a “math genius,” worked for 
the U.K.’s Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) helping to 
break coded Taliban communications, among other things. He was just 
completing a year-long stint with MI6, Britain’s secret intelligence 
service, when he died. The flat where he lived was part of a network of 
flats registered to an offshore front company and rented out to GCHQ 
workers.
